Button it!!

What has Sato to do with this thread?

The comments to do with bulging wallets Jenson and Rubens are probably better drivers than Taku but don't bring in the same weight has having the Japanese market behind them, sign of the times unfortunately

I'm not sure about that. Sato outdrove Button and Rubens on a 2nd hand Honda, also he is more likable and never whines, something I appreciate a lot more than any hype about Button.

If that were true, Sato would have been driving for Honda last year.

That "2nd hand" Honda was their 2006 car...which Button won a race in. It was widely acknowledged to be a better car (in absolute terms that is, not just relative to that year's opposition) than their 2007 disaster.

so the Honda F1 Seiko that nick fry gave me last year, still in its white leather box, has become a collector's item?

fantastic!

very sad for the mechanics, machinists, fabricators and the rest.

we should all remember that the majority of the people who work in F1 are paid no more than you and i and they will have their struggles to pay their mortgages and put a christmas dinner together.

I think it is fairly clear that the 2007 Super Aguri (ie - the '06 Honda) began that year in better shape than the 2007 Honda.

For a more accurate comparison of Button & Sato's respective pace, you should check out their results when they were paired together at B.A.R

Sato should be history by now, I cannot comprehend how he isn't. Nowhere near good enough for F1 and a danger to everybody else.

Button should be in a better team. It's a tragedy that he persevered with Honda for so long, only for this to happen! He should get himself a test driving role at Renault, or BMW - and wait for an opening. In my opinion a drive at STR would do more harm than good.

So a driver doesn't have the right to evolve during his carreer?

Get a grip, Button is pants, Rubens at the end of his career made o mockery of him.

That's only biased crap.
Button persevered with Honda cause no one else wanted him anymore.

Button won a race. I think that Sato will never achieve this.
